I have researched markets top-down and since I can move anywhere with my job (or travel for that matter) I have options more or less everywhere.

Hi all,I’m just getting my feet wet with Real Estate investing and currently taking online courses on the investment process, principles of calculating returns, performing market analysis, analyzing cash flows and the different types of investment opportunities.

I bought one courthouse step deal in Philly and that was quite the ride.. its a locals market for SURE..

I’m sure some of you have faced similar challenges.Aside from raising rent (which can be tricky depending on the market), what other strategies have you implemented to get back to positive cash flow?

The first month was an intro letter and every month after that will be a Market Brief, which I've attached here.

BP, I’m looking at an 8-unit deal in the Northeast that was historically a non-profit co-op with tenants already in place at substantially below market rents.

If you have a reliable trust-worthy agent who has connections in most markets you don't need a PM. 

Although, I had done some due diligence in the process of receiving, installing and the actual benefit of the systems.

Under IRS rules, you, as the plan holder, are considered a disqualified person, meaning you can’t perform services that benefit you directly, such as acting as the leasing agent for the property. 

Additionally, I am well-versed in the tax benefits of using an S Corp to treat each property as inventory, which can save you on short-term gains.Don't waste your valuable time on bookkeeping when you could be focusing on other important aspects of your business.
